Features

AMD Eyefinity TechnologyIndustry-leading multidisplay technology enabling highly immersive and unrivaled multitasking experience across up to four displays, powered by a single AMD FirePro W5000 graphics card.

GeometryBoostAllows the GPU to process geometry data at a rate of twice per clock cycle resulting is a doubling in the rate of primitive and vertex processing. Triangle rates increase two-fold relative to a GPU that does not possess GeometryBoost.

AMD ZeroCore PowerAMD ZeroCore Power technology leverages AMD's leadership in notebook power efficiency to grant our desktop GPUs the ability to power down when your monitor is off, also known as the "long idle state."

AMD PowerTuneAMD PowerTune is an intelligent system that performs real-time analysis of applications that utilize a GPU. In the event that an application is not making the most of the power available to the GPU, AMD PowerTune can improve that application's performance by raising the GPU's clock speed by up to 30 percent - automatically.

Rating: 2/5FirePro W5000 Reliability Problems

Pros: Good performance at a reasonable price point. Well suited for Solidworks 3D CAD or Adobe video editing applications like Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Cons: My FirePro W5000 graphics card worked well for the first month or so but I'm now having reliability problems. The graphics card is crashing often, especially when using a web browser like Firefox. Random color blocks often occur right before the user application window freezes or goes blank.

Rating: 3/5Autodesk won't use Crossfire

Cons: -- Fan on one of two cards purchased was rubbing/noisy at first until it warmed up but this has worked itself out. -- Even though card is Autodesk Certified - no pre-sales info indicated that Crossfire will not work on Adesk products - IOwords, purchasing two cards will not give dual GPU calculating advantage, nor the equivalent of 2x 2Gb (4Gb) of RAM. Not sure if Nvidia/Quadro SLI is supported.

Other Thoughts: If you shop for Nvidia/Quadro watch out for the ones that are proprietary cards for HP (going under the PNY brand).

Rating: 1/5Poor Support

Cons: There was a problem with different colored blocks showing up on web browsers.

Other Thoughts: I bought this card on an online auction from Newegg.com on 01-16-2014 and about a month later I stated getting different color block on the screen with other programs. I contacted support and I had to return the card to Canada my own expense (cost me $45.25). The reason I purchased this card is because I was told that the service us awesome for the workstation video cards If there is an issue. You can get way more card for less and I recommend staying away from AMD and ATI (its who made the card). The service is poor and it will cost you more in the long run if there is even a small problem.

This is a review for the AMD W5000 workstation video card and not Newegg.com

Other Thoughts: I'm using 2 of these in CrossFireX mode. I could not be happier with the performance. I have a fairly small case (BitFenix Prodigy M), and an Adaptec 6405 just above the second card. There isn't a lot of room so the second card gets toasty and everything but my cards are water cooled so there's little air flow. When the second card has been operating at significant capacity (Solidworks, Rhinoceros; turbine assembly) the card will overheat and artifacts are all over the screen. This is my fault for not getting the card proper air flow. I'm getting 2 EK FirePro water blocks to add to the water cooling setup for these cards and that should permanently resolve this issue.

A small number of artifacts do appear in normal operation of Windows 7 Pro (x64). By normal operation, I mean web browsing, watching videos, working with spreadsheets, etc. It is for this that I docked an egg. The cards are not stressed at this point and I expect operation to be flawless.

On the up side, the color depth is impressive. I find even the icons on my desktop to be smoother compared to my W530 using the same monitors (NEC EA244WMi x2). Oh, and Skyrim looks phenomenal and is completely fluid (no mouse lag!) even with large textures and complex ENB mods. There is some flicker in game though as artifacts become present and then are drawn over correctly.

Other Thoughts: This is my first professional graphics card and I cannot believe the fan noise for such an expensive item. It is definitely from the card. Its quiet when my system boots up and gets louder as the workload increases. I have a quiet system that I built myself and the buzzing from this fan drives me nuts.

Cons: None. It does what it does very well. I have no idea about gaming performance - don't care - but I suspect it is very competative.

Other Thoughts: I chose this graphics card for my new 3D CAD workstation running PTC Creo 2.0 Parametric under Win 7 Ultimate (system details below). What can I say other than it works great, very fluid model manipulation - I can grab a complex 3d model (aircraft) with my mouse and spin it wildly without any indication of lag or hesitation - renders at max settings in seconds - can find no cons for my application as this card gives me no reason to think about graphics performance.

For what it is worth, Windows Performance Monitor currently shows that my most complex Creo model currently consumes about half of the installed 32Gigs RAM.

Rating: 3/5Just so so

Pros: Works out of the box. Haven't tried it with ARC GIS Desktop yet.

Cons: So so video playback on Windows 8.
